Categories

Cleanliness
8.7
Generally clean rooms reported, but some mentions of pool needing daily cleaning and a persistently wet shower area indicate minor cleanliness/maintenance issues.
Service
9.4
Multiple reports praise very friendly, helpful owners and staff who went out of their way (including after an injury); one report noted service dipped when the manager left, but overall service is a standout.
Location
9.3
Excellent, peaceful location within walking distance of quiet, beautiful beaches; noted as away from busy roads though access involves narrow roads and a bit of distance from the main road.
Room Quality
9.2
Rooms described as spacious, beautifully designed with large bathrooms and good showers; some comments about shutters letting light through and wet shower areas are minor detractors.
Amenities
8.9
Nice garden, warm pool and helpful extras (baby cot on request); however pool maintenance and limited breakfast options lower this slightly.
Value for Money
9.4
Multiple guests explicitly mention great value for money and would repeat their stay; overall perceived as excellent value.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast and a recommended Sri Lankan breakfast were highlighted as tasty and different; options are limited and breakfast is served on request, so generally positive with room to expand choices.
Overall Experience
8.9
Overall stays described as wonderful, peaceful and highly enjoyable with many repeat intentions; a few practical negatives (access roads, insects, occasional service lapse) temper a perfect score.

Un sitio increíblemente bonito
Pros:

El sitio es espectacular, una casa de película, los muebles son una maravilla y el jardín increíble, repetiría sin duda. El manager fue increiblemente amable y servicial, hablamos un montón con el y era super atento. La habitación enorme. El desayuno nos dejamos aconsejar y pedimos el Srilanqués y fue una sorpresa, muy rico y diferente. Cerca hay una playa suuuper tranquila y preciosa de aguas cristalinas que parece que estés en maldivas. a 5-10 min más caminando hay una playa más famosa y concurrida.

Cons:

Todo fue genial

Great accommodation, welcoming hosts and great value for money.
Pros:

We had passed by the property on a previous stay and had resolved to stay there on our next visit because it looked so beautiful and tranquil. We were not disappointed.

Cons:

We enjoyed everything. Nothing distracted from our stay. In fact my wife had suffered an accident and injury earlier in the trip and the owners and staff went out of their way to help us deal with the situation.

Wonderful stay in this paradise Villa
Pros:

Beautifully designed spacious villa in a very beautiful garden with lots of trees and flowers. Very friendly and helpful owners (couple) and very friendly staff. We liked the peaceful and quiet atmosphere at this place which felt very private. Great beach at walking distance and the best pasta/pizza nearby.

Cons:

Nothing.

Mooie villa voor een ontspannen verblijf aan de kust
Pros:

Het is een prachtig gebouw, met mooie ruime kamers, euime badkamer en fijne douche. Zwembad is mooi met lekker warm water. De villa is gelegen in een rustig deel van Ahangama, op loopafstand van het strand en enkele restaurantjes. Genoeg tuktuks in de buurt voor de langere afstanden.

Cons:

Ontbijt begint pas vanaf 8:30 (het is wel mogelijk eerder iets te krijgen). De luiken in de kamer laten veel licht van lampen door, waardoor het niet goed donker wordt 's nachts.
Tijdens ons verblijf had de manager ontslag genomen, en veel gemaakte afspraken waren niet overgedragen. De service daarna was een stuk slechter, omdat je een vast aanspreekpunt mist. Ik hoop dat deze positie snel weer wordt ingevuld.

Amazing stay in a good location.
Pros:

Good location walking distance from Kabalana beach but away from the busy main road. Nice quiet garden area. The house is really nice with amazing staff and clean rooms. Breakfast is provided on request. We stayed with a small child and the staff was really helpful and provided a baby cot. Would definitely come back here.

Cons:

Nothing the owner can do about but because the villa is located in a lush jungle area, there were quite a few mosquitoes and insects around, which is to be expected in such a tropical environment. Just be prepared.

Pros:

Réellement encore mieux en vrai que sur les photos 🙂
Un petit bout de paradis au calme et au milieu de la nature et en meme temps a deux pas de la plage et des spots de surf
Personnel très gentil et chambre vraiment mignonne et confortable
La piscine est vraiment très agréable comme tous les extérieurs de manière générale
Le massage était également incroyable 😻
Néanmoins le petit déjeuner pourrait être améliorer et plus copieux par rapport a ce qui est proposer a ce prix la ailleurs
Très bon séjour dans l’ensemble 🙂😍

Amara Villa is a true gem and our stay was perfect from start to finish. Thoroughly recommend it!
Pros:

The villa is set in beautifully manicured gardens with a lovely pool - a peaceful oasis that made the start of our trip in Sri Lanka very relaxing. We had a very spacious and comfortable room with a terrace overlooking the garden. The hosts Sam and Anna went out of their way to ensure we had an enjoyable stay and all the staff were very attentive. Breakfast was a plethora of tropical fruits, hoppers and pancakes and they also had their excellent chef prepare us delicious dinners of fish served with fresh vegetables, rice and noodles. Anna also makes very good buffalo curd cheesecake and banana cake!

Cons:

Nothing at all!

Cons:

За пять дней проживания ни разу не убрали номер , при заезде попросили доплатить какие то сборы 60 баксов , мы отказались так как на букинг все налоги были учтены ! В бассейне очень острая плитка порезали ноги ! На букинг выезд в 12 , нам сказали в день выезда что нужно выехать в 11 ! Плохая шумоизоляция слышно все голоса во дворе ! Нам достался один единственный номер без выхода на террасу на фото все номера с дополнительными дверями поэтому нужно уточнять при бронировании уточняйте !

Pros:

This is a charming place with great hosts, who made us feel at home. The villa is beautiful and cozy, the rooms very spacious. The location was perfect for us as it is far enough from the busy local road and yet close enough to the beautiful and safe beach and restaurants. It is placed at tranquil little road that leads further to the rice fields and tea plantation. I would recommend it to everyone.

Cons:

Everything was great
